The Mass General Brigham (MGB) Fellowship in Clinical Neuropsychology (formerly known as the Harvard Partners Consortium in Clinical Neuropsychology) seeks candidates for a 2-year fellowship in neuropsychology to begin on September 1, 2025. The joint BWH/MGH fellowship is a program of Harvard Medical School.
Both tracks are designed to provide top-tier clinical training in neuropsychology across the adult lifespan. Clinical experiences and didactics conform to Houston Conference/Division 40 training requirements so that fellows will be successful in obtaining board-certification (ABPP) in clinical neuropsychology. Graduates will be well prepared for faculty positions in academic medical centers and other rigorous settings. Neuropsychology didacts and other interdisciplinary learning opportunities abound. The training experience is enriched by a highly collaborative teaching environment in which the fellow will work closely with neuropsychologists, behavioral neurologists, neuropsychiatrists, and others with a special interest in brain and behavior. Fellows are part of a larger training cohort including neuropsychology trainees at all levels and behavioral neurology and neuropsychiatry fellows. There are opportunities for teaching and to supervise graduate practicum students and interns. A required portion of the clinical fellowship will be research activity through a proposed project or via participation with faculty in ongoing research projects.
A competitive stipend ($70,000 Years 1 & 2) plus excellent benefits are offered. An academic appointment will be made as a Clinical Fellow at Harvard Medical School.
Applicants should be graduates of APA/CPA accredited programs in clinical psychology or neuropsychology and should have completed an APA/CPA‐approved predoctoral internship. Completion of the doctoral degree is required before the fellowship start date.
We are committed to increasing inclusivity in neuropsychology training and strongly encourage candidates from underrepresented racial, ethnic, and gender identity groups to apply.
Applications for the CLINICAL TRACK Due: December 2, 2024
Applications for the AGING and ALZHEIMER’S TRACK Due: December 1, 2024
Only electronic applications will be accepted.
Additional information about each track and instructions for applying below.
Clinical experience will consist of a wide range of adult outpatient cases with a heavy emphasis on neurological populations including neurodegenerative syndromes, stroke and neurovascular disease, epilepsy, brain tumor/oncology, and multiple sclerosis, along with other neuropsychiatric, medical, genetic, and neurodevelopmental conditions. Opportunities to work with patients from diverse cultural backgrounds and to conduct evaluations with medical interpreters present at both sites. Supervision by bilingual faculty for Spanish language evaluations will be available at MGH. Training in cognitive rehabilitation is offered as an elective, primarily during the second-year rotation at BWH.
A required portion of the fellowship will be research activity through a proposed project or via participation with faculty in ongoing research projects.

This fellowship track is a two-year program of full-time education and training that takes place across two sites: the Division of Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) and the Harvard Aging Brain Study (HABS) at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) at Charlestown Navy Yard. The program schedule is divided into clinical activities at BWH, clinical trial activities at BWH, and clinical research in aging and Alzheimer’s disease at MGH HABS for the duration of the fellowship.
During the first year of the program, fellows will engage in clinical training and neuropsychology didactics, as well as participating in assessment in clinical trials and research projects at MGH HABS. The second year, fellows will continue with clinical training at BWH and focus more time at MGH HABS on research related activities.
Interested applicants should send application materials to Dr. Rebecca Amariglio here including the following:
In addition, applicants should arrange for three letters of recommendation (at least one from a research supervisor/mentor) to be sent to this link.
